Rimsky's Flight from Moscow
After the seance, Rimsky is alone in his office. The vampire Varenukha returns and tries to attack him, while Hella attempts to enter through the window. Rimsky is saved by the crowing of a rooster, which forces the vampires to flee. Terrified, Rimsky escapes to the Leningrad express train, leaving Moscow. His hair turns white from fear. The scene marks the complete breakdown of the theatre's administration.
